Abstract
Crystals of Pt(S–CH2‐Ch2‐P(C2H5)2)2AgNO3 are orthorhombic, a = 14.814, b = 10.926, c = 12.298 Å, space group Pbon, Z = 4. The structure has been solved by FOURIER methods and refined by full‐matrix least‐squares analysis of three dimensional intensity data, measured on the HILGER & WATTS computer‐controlled 4‐circle diffractometer. The structure consists of infinite chains running along the c‐axis; each silver atom is coordinated almost linearly to two sulphur atoms belonging to the square‐planar coordination spheres of two different platinum atoms.
